A girl's education...(continued)
Thank you to those of you who have responded to the article What is a girl's education worth? Some have expressed interest in helping support others through school in Burkina. I have previously had a fund for this, and am re-opening it:
Education Fund for Burkina Faso
The fund will be used for two things:
1. Providing for orphans and other poor children to go to school. If funds and structure allow, I hope this would include one meal a day. Read about Steve's conversation with my friend Iisaa about his experience at school.
2. Individual grants to enable some girl students, to go on to a Christian college, similar to this one.
If you want to give to this, you can send a gift to World Horizons at the following addresses. On the back of the cheque, and in a convering note, state that it is for "Education Fund in Gorom-Gorom, Burkina Faso":
World Horizons, North Dock, Llanelli, Carms SA15 2LF, UK
World Horizons, PO Box 17721, Richmond, VA 23226, USA
Many thanks.
